I too believe the company would have to declare an "excess" in your seat, before you could be forced to change to another seat.

Just had an interesting thought though....i

What if all the new hires go straight to the FDAs, and we remain fat in the right seat and back of the Boeing due to "Age 65-related" and "domestic growth" stagnation....where would the Boeing FOs and SOs go if the Boeing is excessed?

Any place where folks are junior to them, of course.

I guess that would mean FOs could bump SOs....but for the SOs, they'd have no where else to go but the FDAs.

Hopefully, the "you can't be forced to an FDA" clause applies in that case as well....and that is NOT something we should even consider removing in future contracts.
